What's the weather like in your area 2

Wet ground at 5am, drizzle at 8, heavy showers of rain from 8.30ish onwards.
Got 2 fields of hay baled yesterday evening, just cut it fine enough with them

Lovely steady rain here all morning. Giving it for the next 5 days or so aswell. All needed

Drizzling away. Digger here draining atm, could use a bit of time to get grass quality under control too many steamy paddocks around. Rain welcome but once it won't be too constant

We can manage some but need breaks, if we get 5 consecutive days ground conditions will suffer.

Yeah but you got rain where we didn't

Rains very light here and stopped altogether for an hour,just 0.8mm so far
Hoping for a better effort here friday
Grounds so hard,you'd want a sledge where you'd usually put your foot to hammer down a pigtail

To smash and grab a paddock or so before Friday hmm???

Good drying breeze at the moment

Cut and raked wed evening, baled yday, only 21 bales in total (my contractor well impressed haha). But the most unbelievably useful 14mm of rain last night!

Overcast here. Heavy rain last night

Drizzling most of the night here with some thunder showers early in the morning. Dry now but must have had close to an inch of rain going by the water in the wheelbarrow. And not a sign of it in the fields. Grass will explode here now, hopefully.

It took me long enough to bother buying one, but a basic rain gauge (that I paid 6e for delivered to here) is something that every single farmer should have!

And yep, grass gonna explode outa it again, I'm not joking here but I've heard several farmers moaning, actually moaning that they have well enough fodder by now, but will have no choice but to take out more silage to keep grass under control. There is absolutely no demand for fodder, and with the beef market on the flood lads who normally were happy enough to keep stock over the winter to use up excess fodder just aren't bothered this year!

^^ Watching the strikes on the radar map here. Aunt says it's very bad around her outside Mullingar.
Just overcast & constant thunder here, one heavy shower at 5 earlier but rained a heavy drizzle a lot of the morning too.

Thunder and lightning and heavy showers it’s clearing now. Short sharp bursts of showers when they arrive.

Fierce frost here last night. Pipes frozen. Not a hope will tractor start.

Where are you?

Blowing a gale here and hammering rain, like a November evening.

Must be twenty degrees here, stopped raining here now

Looks like there could be more thunderstorms coming up from the south on Wednesday morning. A repeat of what we had a few weeks ago.
Up the Irish sea and the east of Ireland.

Is there any sign of a warm settled spell beyond Tuesday of this week?

OH and I are just home after dinner and scoops, it's been raining hard here since early afternoon but the wind is blowing up.

Really warm here at the moment. Was 26 degrees earlier

I really miss not having the boys at home when the evenings are warm like now. In the past we would be sitting out in the garden enjoying a barbecue.

I rang the contractor six times this morn. On and off with the pit silage. I think there should be one forecast for cork and one for west cork. The mist is heavy. Why the feck didn't I cut it last week . What apps are the best. Joan Blackburn didn't study as many maps as I did this morn

Met giving the week dry but mt saying that thursday will be wet

Woohoo.

I'm good for something!

Everyone seems to be bursting with grass.

Not good where I am but got another few cattle killed today so should help. Bought fertilizer too but we need rain.

Would that be very localised kk.man or is there big parts of kilkenny in need of rain
